Cornyn Highlights Bill to Bar Aliens Who Support Sharia Law from U.S.

Published | Video Starts at 07:24

We cannot shrink from these ideals by allowing certain individuals to advocate or embrace sharia law.

Mr. President, We welcome legal immigrants from around the world, regardless of religious belief, who want to become Americans through a legal, orderly process. But we want Americans in name, not just in name only, but in terms of their willingness to embrace the very values ensconced and protected by our Constitution. (07:24–07:35)
